Hi all, This set is a subset of a larger series for delayed attributes. Which is a subset of an even larger series, parent pointers. Delayed attributes allow attribute operations (set and remove) to be logged and committed in the same way that other delayed operations do. This allows more complex operations (like parent pointers) to be broken up into multiple smaller transactions. To do this, the existing attr operations must be modified to operate as either a delayed operation or a inline operation since older filesystems will not be able to use the new log entries. This means that they cannot roll, commit, or finish transactions. Instead, they return EAGAIN an allow the calling function to handle the transaction. In this series, we focus on only the clean up and refactoring needed to accomplish this. We will introduce delayed attrs and parent pointers in a later set. I know there are some other sets waiting for review that intersect with this one, and I still need to go through those (not forgotten, just queued). But I wanted to get an update out before too much time gets away. Changes since v5: Mostly review updates and nits collected since v5. Patches 12, 13 and 14 are new, and help to modularize and simplify the larger routines in 15 and 16. I've also made the corresponding updates to the user space side as well. Questions, comment and feedback appreciated! Thanks all!
